With the release of 3.1, it seems that things have drastically changed in the development workflow.
With the asset pipeline enabled, and the likes of this in my layouts: = stylesheet_link_tag 'application', :debug => Rails.env.development? = javascript_include_tag 'application', :debug => Rails.env.development? ...every single css, js and image gets re-compiled on every single request. This takes forever. My dev log is mostly comprised of this: Started GET "/assets/jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css?body=1" for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-08-31 14:04:04 -0400 Served asset /jquery-ui-1.8.16.custom.css - 304 Not Modified (0ms) It seems to me that the dev rails server (both webrick, and passenger), is handling the request of every asset. It didn't work this way in 3.0.x. While it clearly says 304 (0ms) I can attest that the overall time to process a page (and all its assets) is *significantly* longer. Here's my application.rb and development.rb - they're basically the 3.1 defaults. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7248911/rails-3-1-force-development-assets-to-get-served-up-like-they-were-in-3-0-x So is there a solution here? Even if I didn't have :debug => true in my javascript/stylesheet tag, the JS and CSS files would still have to be complied/generated as well as every image - which is still a significant regression. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
